Guided Laparoscopic Video Tutorials for Medical Student Instruction in Abdominal Anatomy.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

As technological advances present new forms of media to anatomy educators involved in medical education, there is opportunity to expand on traditional dissection of embalmed cadavers. At the University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine, the surgery and anatomy departments collaborated to create guided video tutorials using laparoscopic surgical footage to teach the anatomy of the lesser sac and gastroesophageal junction.

Methods

These tutorials are instructional adjuncts to a laparoscopy session on fresh cadavers with first-year medical students. Students view the videos on their own before attending the anatomy lab. The anatomy lab includes six 30-minute sessions, in which approximately 22 students at a time leave their cadaver lab to participate
